OLIGHT UC magnetic USB charger
on: December 21, 2016, 08:41:29 PM
Honestly, this is a product I have been waiting for.

UC magnetic charger on Olight Website

Bring a powerplug with multiple USB ports for charging and you have a solution for everything: mobile phone, ebook reader and now batteries. I find that brilliant. BladeHQ has them for 10$, so it is also also quite affordable.
Works with lithium batteries with a rated voltage between 3.6V and 3.7V and NiMH batteries.

I have stopped ordering stuff until after Christmas, when the mail mayhem is over.

Interesting little thing :tu: So, it can't be used with alkalines or AA lithium primaries?

I sure wish these had selectable current for charging Li-Ion.  750mA is a bit high for 16340/14500 and a bit low for 18650.

Looks great but isn't it a pain to only charge one cell at a time?

Depends on your battery usage. I almost never charge a battery as I hardly use my flashlights.

I think this is perfect for holidays as it can use the same power as you cell-phone / tablet / e-book reader.

Plus you can run it from a car ciggy socket.

Obviously if you need to charge 4 at a time then a proper loading brick is the way to go.
